Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 471, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AGING,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to authorize the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs to establish quorum requirements through its bylaws and post its bylaws on the Executive Office on Aging's website.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(1) Specifying that quorum for the Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs be a majority of currently serving members, but not fewer than eight members, rather than establishing quorum through the Board's bylaws;

(2) Removing the requirement that the bylaws be posted on the Executive Office on Aging's website; and

(3) Changing its effective date to be upon its approval.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 471, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 471, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
